Hi I am interested in going to the gun show in Roseville in a couple of weeks. Any one have an insight on how big the show might be
 
Yea CA shows are pretty damn dead. Big Reno show is pretty good, other Reno shows are decent.

Unless you're interested in C&R or antique guns though don't expect much. Not like you can buy modern guns in another state. I would also be very surprised if various parts aren't just cheaper online.
 
Is the Reno show worth it? My uncle is trying to get me to go with him but not sure there’s anything I can really buy there and bring back…

Is there anything cool like at SHOT that would just be fun to see?
 
If you've never been to one it could be pretty cool. The big reno show is fairly large. Probably more guns than you'd see in one place outside of a museum or a government armory. If you're into milsurps it's definitely cool to see and handle them in person.

Without an FLL03 the only thing you could bring back would be firearms made before 1899, or like AR parts and whatnot. That said the amount of people who sold me C&R stuff without even bothering to ask for my FFL is more than 1.

I've certainly seen things that I would classify as cool. Saw a tankgewehr m1918, saw an MG 08/15, probably other transferables there that I missed.

Nothing like shotshow, but you wouldn't be able to get into that anyways unless you're some sort of "influencer" or firearm industry member(haha).

I’m new to the 2A space and I don’t understand C&R so what would fall under that type of classification
